Professionally speaking,sanding is a post-treatment process. It is the friction of the fabric through the sanding machine and the emery skin. This makes the surface of the fabric form a layer with a short nap layer.
The whole process is: Padding the raising agent–Drying and stenting–Sanding and finishing on a sanding machine.
In other words, the sanding process is rubbing on the fabric surface with a roller covered with abrasive paper. The choice of abrasive paper is according to the fabric. Next,the fabric has tension when abrasive paper moves with high-speed sanding machine. Gradually, the fabric surface has fluff like peach peel after friction with abrasive paper. Therefore,this process changes the structural properties of the surface of the fabric. It gives you fluffy touch like touching the skin of peach.
